There is a very fine line between self-care and selfishness — and most of us learn the difference only after being hurt. Selfishness is the art of placing one’s own interests above everyone else’s, without care, without pause, and without apology. Unfortunately, the world is full of such people — in the form of friends, colleagues, and sometimes even family. If you surround yourself with individuals who are chronically negative, self-absorbed, or emotionally unavailable , don’t be surprised when you find yourself mentally drained and emotionally hollow. Keeping a selfish friend is like investing in a dead stock — they will never give you returns, only regret. What makes it trickier is this: these individuals often wear the mask of charm . They appear kind, interesting, and agreeable — until it’s too late. So, based on over four decades of observing people, I want to share a few quiet warning signs. Learn to see them early — not bitterly, but wisely.  Watch their r...

Much has been said — and romanticized — about love and the dream of a perfect relationship. We grow up with images of soulmates, grand proposals, eternal happiness, and storybook endings. But reality rarely follows a script. William Shakespeare said it plainly centuries ago: “The course of true love never did run smooth.” And yet, most of us walk into love — and into marriage — expecting otherwise. In 2015, over 48,000 divorces were granted in Australia. The divorce rate hovers at 45% , which means nearly half of all marriages do not last. That’s not just a statistic. That’s real people, real pain, and real silence around a truth we don’t want to accept: Falling in love is easy. Staying in love is sacred work. On my recent wedding anniversary, I shared a photo of my husband and me, smiling — full of warmth, like any “happy couple” post. The responses poured in: “Such a lovely couple!” “You’re so lucky to have each other.” “What’s the secret to a happy marriage?”...

Twenty-five years ago, Vikram and I officially became a family. But if I count the years we’ve shared our hearts, it began thirty-five years ago. That’s more than half my lifetime. And still, I can say — with all my heart — that loving him was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. As I scroll through our photos, flip through old memories, and remember the music, the laughter, and the silences we’ve shared, I feel nothing but gratitude. Not for perfection — but for resilience. Not for a flawless partner — but for an imperfect, enduring love. This Isn’t About Us — It’s About What We’ve Learned On our recent anniversary, I posted a picture of us on Facebook — a simple moment, a small tribute. The comments came pouring in: “You’re lucky to have each other.” “Such a perfect couple!” “How do I find someone like that?” I’m touched by the love, but I must confess: The secret to a lasting marriage isn’t about finding the perfect person. It’s about creating somethin...

I must admit — I was once completely hooked on Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Li'l Champs on Zee TV. My love for the show wasn’t because I’m a musician or because of any professional interest. It was something more emotional, more instinctive. It was the children. Children with voices that could melt the hardest hearts. Children whose performances often put adult singers to shame. What amazed me more than their talent was the background they came from — many of them not born into privilege or wealth. And yet, their commitment, their hunger to achieve, and their ability to shine under pressure was breathtaking. As a mother, I witnessed that world firsthand. My daughter was once a participant in Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Li’l Champs International , and I took a long leave from work in Fiji just to be by her side in India. From choosing the right songs to rehearsing tirelessly, from emotional highs to nerve-wracking results — every moment was intense. Each day stretched from sunrise to midn...

ज़िन्दगी में उदासी हर ओर सिमट आई है मन के आकाश में दुखों कि घटा छाई है ऐसे में तेरी याद है कि बिजली तड़प. या फिर सो कर जागते दर्द की अंगड़ाई है रात सोती है चुप.. जागते हैं सितारे लेकिन कोई  जाने न  तड़पते हैं दिल के मारे लेकिन.. अरमान सूख चुके हैं,बाकि उमंगें भी नही  सभी के दर्द को अपना लिये लेती हूं प्यार के नाम पे ये ज़हर पीये लेती हूं जलाए देती हूं बाकि सब रोशनी के लिये बहार आये तो कांटों में जीये लेती हूं

हाँ ये चाँद बेदाग है जिस से हम सबको अनुराग है पर ये चाँद तो धरती पर है फिर भी हुम सब से दूर है बादलों में छिपे उस चाँद जैसा लगता है जो कुछ क्षण दिख कर फिर छिप जाता है पर कभी तो ये बादल छटेंगे फिर हम जी भर कर देख लेंगे ये हँसता बोलता चाँद,है हम सबकी जान हमें है इस पर बडा ही मान है तो ये बडा ही जीनियस पर रहता है हरदम सीरियस कर देता है हम सबको नीरस इसका रहस्य है बडा ही गूढ पल पल मै बदलता है इसका मूड कभी लगता है खोया खोया और लगता है सोया सोया बेबात मुस्कुरा देता है हम उदासों को हँसा देता है पर हम जानते हैं ये फिर धोखा दे जायेगा दूर बदलों में खो जायेगा सब खुशीयाँ साथ ले जायेगा एक मीठी याद दे जायेगा पर कभी तो ये बादल छटेंगे फिर हम जी भर कर देख लेंगे
